Making Yakon Syrup

After watching a video about how to make yakon syrup we decided to have a go using the yakons we’ve grown in our garden.

We peeled, cut and juiced the yakons then simmered them in a bit of water. They need to simmer overnight so Mrs Taylor will take them home and see what happens…

And in more exciting news… We got the OK to plant the orchard AND to build the plastic bottle greenhouse today! 

For the orchard, we started making a plan and a list of the trees we want to plant.

We worked out the measurements of the greenhouse so the school can approach Placemakers and Bunnings and see if they’ll donate some timber for the framing, and we’ll ask the community to provide the plastic bottles.
